How Good Are Cancer Signs at the Silent Treatment

Cancer signs may be capable of silent treatment but their ability to outlast others varies. They often withdraw emotionally but may not sustain prolonged silence as they value connection. Outlasting a Cancer's silence depends on the other person's patience and understanding of their emotional needs.

If a Cancer is giving you the silent treatment you're honestly block until they decide to unblock you.

You can't out do them unless you forgotten about them. That's the only way that will piss them off, or anybody off.

What's the point. Is the cancer any happier—

I don't believe in the silent treatment anymore

It's abusive

It is abusive. But that's what I realize with what people do with their silent treatment.

I been given the silent treatment from a Cancer friend when I didn't have the chance to come visit her.

So what happened

A relationship destroyed? You ignore her back too

Man I've lost so many relationships being this petty

No, she's the one who just stop talking to me.

I Tried to talk to her, but she just left me on read & I just leave her be.

I guess I did the same and ignored her 🤷🏻‍♀️

Why bother when she doesn't even reply?

Try again until it's really really done

I hear you. What i do is send a message every 3 months or so

Its a chore as I'm proud and my inclination is to drop and never bother

But i got tired of that person

So i message every 3 months. Apologize for my mistake. Ask how the person is doing. Have them warm up to me again until they're contacting me

Maybe send funny memes

Friendships are important

:/ I rather not. This girl gets really pissy out of nowhere.

Rants too much about how her body is imperfect, and compares myself to her. I don't want to hear that...

It makes me feel bad about myself whenever she mentions that randomly on our conversations before. It's really uncomfortable.

There's no way to make her feel better about herself even if I try.

True. I have a cancer that stopped speaking 8 mos ago, we saw each other briefly last month and he was talking in riddles. I told him if he wanted to talk, he knew where to find me. If I see him again, I won't be the first to speak again I'm done.

Virgo.

Don’t make me get used to you not being around bc if so Issa wrap

It’s all about routine and although we’ll initially be annoyed (more than anything) that the routine is broken, we’ll just make another routine. Without you in it

like can we actually out last a cancer silent treatment / hiatus .

if so which sign you think is capable of outlasting one

If they've written you off, you're going to die of old age.

If they think you're playing games, see the above.

Otherwise, depends on the circumstance.

Would you mind checking out my post? Need a male crabs opinion!

Honest truth, I will lose this game. Only IF you fit into this category labelled:

A best friend of mine that holds so many memories and I care so much.

Or you're someone I truly fancy.

If I accepted the fact that you they do not care, I will force myself to move on and just entertain the pain as time goes on.

But, if I don't care about you. That is a different story lmao, I will be thrilled and jump with joy. "Bye felicia" and just ghost

Edit: I realized I never really answered the question lol

Definitely Virgo

As a Cancer female I can be very patient. However purposely ignoring someone is a passive form of bullying. That kind of behavior isn't received well by me and blocking is just childish. If there is drama, it wasn't started by me and in a rare case it was...I will handle it like an adult, with appropriate communication and except responsibility.

So how do you treat a Cancer girl when she asks for a break? You just let her initiate any contact and do not send her at all?

My cancer used to be so good at silent treatment years ago. But now he doesn't do that anymore, he told me that i am the cold one instead. He always makes effort to communicate and fix our problems. He got frustrated when i am in my distant mode. But we always make it up quick.
